We all know the world is
getting smaller and we can reach others anywhere else in matter of
seconds. On social media we can view
live feeds of anyone who chooses to do so.
Whatever cause you follow
or go against you will be either praised or criticized. Also this applies if
you don’t agree with some people’s life style. This is why I stay away from
controversy often as I can. Everyone seems to have a strong opinion when it
comes to politics, religion or lifestyle. The big question is how to be loving
and compassionate with others you don’t agree and this is especially true of
family and friends.
I believe we do need to ask
for wisdom. If you have read the Old
Testament in the book of first Kings Chapter three King Solomon who has taken
over the kingship after the death of his father David he asked for discernment between
good and evil from God. He became the wisest man ever on earth though like all
of us he did make a lot of mistakes as well. We can all use wisdom daily in our
lives. One thing I believe is that we need to know when to speak and when not
to. I do have areas that I feel strong in however not giving my opinion most of
the time I have found to be wise. I say
most of the time because I have given my opinion on social media and I have
been praised and criticized. Many occasions it is a lose win situation to speak
up however there are times where it is important to do so and that is where
wisdom must come in.
So my answer to this is to
ask God for discernment and wisdom. Know when to speak and when not too. There are times whatever you say other people
will not listen because they have so strong opinions and I know to that we all
have these strong opinions. Other words we are in a no win situation. In a way what could be funny is that there
are those who may have strong feeling in what I say here and I am fine with
that too.
I feel besides asking for
wisdom is careful when you do speak. I don’t want you to lose family and
friends because of it. We can’t win all the battles we fight. I end here
wishing you a wonderful weekend.
